Alarplasty, Nose & Lip filler - do I need a number of recovery days in between the procedures?

B
Brittbat98Jan 3, 2023

Hi there, I loved the results of my 5 mins nose job but a year later I need a refill. I can still feel some filler when I touch the sides of my bridge but the elevated effect is gone. Im thinking of reducing nostrils size (alarplasty) & adding nose bridge filler and .5ml filler to lips at the same time. Or do I need a number of recovery days in between the procedures? Thanks

Temporary gel fillers like HA are associated with a low risk of infection, since HA is a sugar, and vascular occlusion, since it's a large particle gel. Your photo appears to show redness that could be consistent with infection. Vascular compromise may lead to necrosis. It's impossible to answer...
